We consider Sen's effective action for unstable D-branes, and study its classical dynamics exactly. In the true vacuum, the Hamiltonian dynamics remains well-defined despite a vanishing action, and is that of massive relativistic string fluid of freely moving electric flux lines. The energy(tension) density equals the flux density in the local co-moving frame. Furthermore, a finite dual Lagrangian exists and is related to the Nielsen-Olesen field theory of ``dual'' strings, supplemented by a crucial constraint. We conclude with discussion on the endpoint of tachyon condensation.

  1. Exact, non-singular black holes from a phantom DBI Field as primordial dark matter

    gr-qc 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Exact non-singular black holes from the phantom DBI field evaporate to gram-mass relics, opening a new mass window for primordial black holes as dark matter.

  2. Defrosting the Born-Infeld dyonic frozen star with tachyon matter: spectrum of oscillations

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Born-Infeld Lagrangian with electric, magnetic, and tachyon charges reproduces the slow, long-lived oscillation spectrum of the defrosted frozen star.

  3. Formation of Frozen Stars from collapsing matter by tunneling

    gr-qc 2025-08 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    By Euclidean path-integral methods, the authors claim the tunneling probability from a collapsing shell into a frozen star is unity, making the transition inevitable.
